Synopsis

Jack London is one of America's most well-known and respected authors. Collected here are two of his most well-known stories: "The Call of the Wild," which tells the story of a dog named Buck who is sold into the brutal life of an Alaskan sled dog. "White Fang" tells the story of a wolfdog's journey to domestication, written from the perspective of the canine for the most part.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The Call Of The Wild is the story of Buck, a dog stolen from his home and thrust into the merciless life of the Arctic north to endure hardship, bitter cold, and the savage lawlessness of man and beast. White Fang is the adventure of an animal -- part dog, part wolf --turned vicious by cruel abuse, then transformed by the patience and affection of one man.

Jack London's superb ability as a storyteller and his uncanny understanding of animal and human natures give these tales a striking vitality and power, and have earned him a reputation as a distinguished American writer.

About the Author:

Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney, 1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist, whose stories and novels set in Alaska and the South Pacific earned him worldwide fame.
